A palletizer or palletiser is a machine which provides automatic means for stacking cases of goods or products on to a pallet.

The palletizer will stack 160 bricks to complete two skids and then place a lid over them.

The in-line palletizer was developed in the 1970s when higher speeds were needed for palletizing.

As the bricks enter the palletizer, they are flipped over and the barcodes are scanned for information.

Prior to ergonomic improvements such as the palletizer, the employee was required to stack approximately 7,400 pounds (or 3.7 tons) per day.

The first mechanized palletizer was designed, built, and installed in 1948 by a company formerly known as Lamson Corp.

A palletizer or palletiser is a machine which provides automatic means for stacking cases of goods or products on to a pallet.

As full skids are advanced and removed, the palletizer will continue grabbing empty skids, placing them into position to start receiving more bricks.

This palletizer type utilizes a continuous motion flow divider that guides the goods into the desired area on the layer forming platform.

AGVs can move pallets from the palletizer to stretch wrapping to the warehouse/storage and/or to the outbound shipping docks.

Like COPE operations, Packaging operations also utilizes an ergonomic palletizer.

Drum dollies, palletizer, vertical lift pourer and spotter are good examples of mobile drum handler.

This palletizer is also powered by air and uses vacuum suction in addition to forks and grippers to pick up each Cash-Pack.

AGVs can be applied to move materials in food processing (such as the loading of food and/or trays into sterilizers) and at the "end of line," linking the palletizer, stretch wrapper, and the warehouse.

In 2008, an ergonomic piece of equipment called a palletizer was added to each one of the COPE-Pak presses to eliminate the repetitive, rotating motion performed by an employee as they placed the bricks onto skids.

While directing the U.S. Naval Ordnance Materials Handling Laboratory in Hingham, Massachusetts during World War II, Cahners started a newsletter called The Palletizer, taking its name from the pallet, then a relatively new technology used to move goods on and off ships and around bases.
